LM, 13 May 2015There is something i do not understand, how come an analyst from somewhere can guess what will... moreThat is called market research. These guys know how much is manufactured how many to sell. they get data from all the stores.

There is something i do not understand, how come an analyst from somewhere can guess what will a certain company do? and how come the analyst has the 'guessing power' to even presume how much a company will be selling how much will it earn/make profit?

Why do we hear this from analysts? shouldnt this info be given from someone who works for the company?
